The stacked health bonuses a reference to a dog food item that occupies that same spot in the original. It provides a 4% health boost ;)

[@ThatKidBobo]

neat

[@Fronzel41]

and I think you could only take it in Wolf3D if you were below a certain amount of health, like BJ would only do it if he was desperate. Or I think just be thinking of the slop on the floor in various places that does certainly have that condtional use.

[@AlexeiVoronin]

@@Fronzel41 That's the blood puddles on the floor - they can only be drunk (to restore 1%) while under 10% health. There's even a nasty slurping sound while this happens. Dog food doesn't have such limitations.

A very fun map indeed even in Nightmare Mode. Probably one of my favorite map period. Wolfenstein was the 1st game I play when I was a kid & I enjoyed it. Great job. 😄👍

[@Geniraul]

Oh, so on NM this map is supposed to be completed more like a speedrun rather than a regular run, and the blue fellows cannot keep up 😅 However, the pinkies can get quite dangerous if they respawn, so it's better to not linger in the secret room. This strategy makes sense and it's so simple, so thanks for pointing this out! 😀 And you even managed to get over 100% kills! 🔥 Either way, this map still stays one of the best levels in Doom 2, IMO, and is an art object in terms of being a really qualitative map conversion. This is some sort of an amazing Eater egg as well ;)

[@JangianTV]

Even on Nightmare difficulty the SS are still complete weaklings in front of Doomguy. The Blazkowicz bloodline keeps getting stronger.

[@Nob1ej0n]

I like how the kill count keeps going up as you leave the map. I also didn't realize that items were stacked. I should have noticed on my all-items run.

[@georgeheilman885]

I can never get tired of blasting SS with the BFG or rocket launcher. A fine display of carnage.

[@TheRogueWolf]

When I was young, I always thought the Wolfenstein solders were shouting "I'm leavin'!" instead of "Mein leben!".

[@RetroGamingWithEdgarRivera]

ahh good old Wolfenstein 3D secret map, one of my favorite maps of all time mainly because of the nostalgia factor I have with Wolfenstein 3D cuz it is my very first ms dos game that I ever play. Watching your playthrough it brought back memories playing Wolfenstein 3D on I am Death Incarnate difficulty, Yep I was that hard core as kid lol.

[@AlexeiVoronin]

This is indeed a pretty accurate recreation of the iconic first level of Wolfenstein 3D... except for the secret with the SSG and the megasphere, obviously. I still try to open that particular wall in the original Wolf 3D, just as an homage to this level. The level has great historical significance for the FPS genre as a whole. The background music is from the Hell level of Spear of Destiny, where BJ fights the Angel of Death.

[@makhauser42]

I like how they just show the difference between the engines with all the stairs and everything (not that they don't brag about it on E1M1, and the different floor level is the first thing you see when load the map)

[@AlexeiVoronin]

@@makhauser42 I've heard Romero had this unofficial design rule that the first level of a game with a newer engine must be impossible to make with the engine of the older game. This is definitely the case with Doom and Quake.

[@makhauser42]

@@AlexeiVoronin, that would make sense, actually. JR always tries to bring new ideas in his maps, and gimmicks outside of the gimmick levels (like with Gotcha (cyber vs mastermind duel), Circle of Death (not very gimmicky, though introduces archville and is basically the first level you see when launch DooM 2 and do not start a level, so witness the demo), even the latest Sigil maps do bring some newer ideas (and some do have a bit of The Living End vibes))

[@michaelandreipalon359]

Not a great expansion, Spear of Destiny, but at least it made some foundations to the lore.

[@AlexeiVoronin]

@@michaelandreipalon359 - Not great? It has better level design than much of the original Wolf 3D :P

[@Milka-fe4ek]

The effectiveness of partial invisibility against hitscan made me actually wonder, what's an actual degree of attack spread does it force And according to doomwiki: "Missile attacks receive a random offset of ±22.5°, while the random offset received by hitscan attacks is ±45°. Note than the hitscan attacks of monsters already have a built-in spread of ±22.5°, which means that those attacks aimed at partially invisible player get scattered up to ±67.5° in a random direction on the horizontal plane." Actually surprising to find out that projectiles and hitscan attacks recieve different offset from partial invisibility ! That explains why even Spider Masterminds with "shotgun chaingun" have very hard time hitting you And also kinda explains why it's much easier for projectile attacks to be an actual threat, especially at close-mid range, the cone is just perfect, not too wide, not too narrow, just enough to consistenly mess with thick player using thick projectiles Truly a powerful power up Truly a powerful power down Truly a thing with no effect at meele What a truly multisided power-depends-on-situation

New rule: Decino can only attack sleeping enemies on their SECOND idle frame!

[@inventiveusername5191]

I used to think of Decino as being very good in his own right, but not quite on the level of the top speedrunners and deathmatch players. However, to my untrained eye the gap really seems to be closing. I'd be really interested to see him have a stab at some individual level speedruns someday just to see how his times compared with who we think of as the best of the best. I'm quite sure Decino's good enough to at least beat some of the old 90s and early 2000s records fairly easily, in part because he'd be using modern techniques and routing. How close he got to the more modern runners would at least make for an interesting comparison. Thing is, speedrunning as a style of gameplay is very much an acquired taste, and so is the sense of competition that surrounds it. I also wouldn't be surprised if he just didn't want to go there.

[@chiqi335]

Very nice analysis bud. We are witnessing the transformation of decino into a high skill player (in comparison to some doomgods)

[@reptongeek]

There are at least two rooms in this level that I believe ARE secrets in the original E1F1 from Wolfenstein 3D. I think the rocket launcher and the armor bonus room at 2:15 are tagged as secrets in the original game, but I could be wrong

[@ravagerslb]

If we're talking about RTCW it would be fun for the nostalgia, in my opinion, but the original is very bland and too grindy in the later episodes.

[@StillTheVoid]

This map ALONE provides the mandela effect in replaying Wolfenstein 3D @ 1:20. Now I ASSUME that secret to be there when replaying the classic. 😫😫

[@lhfirex]

Am I mistaken or did we see a SS get gibbed by the BFG? Maybe I only think that's rare because most of the WADs I play replace them with custom monsters, so I'm not used to blasting them even though they're the best kind of hell monsters to destroy.

[@JeffreyPiatt]

A gibb sprite was one of the few new sprites made for the SS Nazi for Doom II They basically took a zombie man gibsprite and added the blue boots to it. Otherwise it's the same it's missing the shooting other people sprite because Wolfenstine 3d lacked the feature even though it's manual implied the Mutants were prone to friendly fire.

[@JeffreyPiatt]

Are you using the Unity doom wad that includes the levels but scrubs the Nazis to meet German law. Classic classic Doom II German wads just removed the levels.

[@f0ggmachine420]

[@riba2233]

Never realised they were stacked lol

[@fmsyntheses]

Is there a reason for the weird scale of everything in this level? I've never understood that. Is it just because the Wolf3D stuff has a lower native resolution?

[@BoldEnglishman]

I think it's because the textures are taken from the Macintosh version of Wolf 3D, which was higher resolution than the original PC version... if I'm not mistaken.

[@nolemretaw]

because a 64x64 room with 64 height is barely enough to fit a marine in so to make the gameplay more dynamic, they prob increased level size

[@JeffreyPiatt]

​@@BoldEnglishman the wall art is from the Jaguar port where it was high resolution

[@BoldEnglishman]

@@JeffreyPiatt To quote the Doom Wiki: "This is because the textures come from the higher resolution Macintosh and Atari Jaguar ports rather than the original DOS version." So we're both correct!

Mein Laben!

[@CaveyMoth]

[@Trevor_Bennett]

This level always bothered me as a kid. I wished the textures were more to scale. Wolf 3D wasn't a distant memory when this came out and my judgmental brain noticed the scale issues immediately and wondered why they weren't 64x64 or even some obscure dimensions like 72 x 64 or 96 x 112. Plenty of odd dimensions already in Doom. Doesn't bother me much now as a man in his 40's. In fact, nothing much bothers me.

[@mresturk9336]

In this case they used the 128x128 wall textures from the Jaguar port combined with the original DOS enemy sprites (The Jaguar Wolfenstein enemies would have been giant). I found from my own modding projects that 72x72 is probably the closest scale to feeling like the original Wolfenstein, as the original 64x64 comes out feeling a bit too cramped in DOOM's engine. Obviously ID found the enemies smaller sprite size amusing given the comical, high pitched voice sample replacements.

[@JeffreyPiatt]
